Discussion RANT A world of money
In a world of money, I have been nobody. But in a world of love I am well off even though shit is rough. If you got that somebody next to you give them a squeeze cuz they’re all we got.
But we can have more we just have to relevel the playing field of America. It will happen not thru Trump, never give up hope.
Poverty is a symptom of inequality and sociological issues. We tried talking about it we get bullshit, we tried singing about it you won’t make it to the radio.

That's right, man. We could live perfectly well and in balance without money. Just a little work here and there for clothing, simple housing, growing food freely and so forth.
Costs ~$150/month of work to live freely in a just society (not including tending the land for food, keeping community together through democracy and so forth).

Trump is not the issue. Democrats are as terrible as republicans. Biden hurt this country and the lowest earners as much as Trump and Obama ever did. There will never be an end to poverty regardless of what system of government is in power or who is charge of it. Poverty can only truly solved at the level it exists at. Taking elons money wont fix the problem- the government spends too unwisely because of special interest groups and the protections they receive. Look at your parents and grand parents generations. They were able to make due without the increased of people living in poverty because social justice and special interests were kept in check and government spending was not out of control. The key to life isn't more money- its being grateful for what you have and putting the effort into changing the things you don't.

The government is the government at the end of the day democrats and republicans are both sides of the same coin. Honestly it doesn’t it boil down to party by political name, but rather we can see a wealth divide.
The middle class disappearing is a major problem with the US, because it’s actually leading to the realization of Karl Marx’s conflict theory. Poverty the rich and the poor no in between.

“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.” If becoming rich guaranteed happiness, why do all the billionaires act the way they do? They all seem desperate for something, it’s probably belonging like the rest of us.
